President Kalhulaid presented the royal couple with honey from the rose garden of the Office of the President. Clearly great minds think alike as TRH presented the president with honey from the royal residences in the UK.

The aim of the visit was to mark Estonia’s Centenary as well as to celebrate and strengthen 100 years of friendship between Estonia and the UK.

Edward and Sophie remained in the capital city of Tallinn during their stay where they completed a variety of engagements.

On Monday morning they visited the Defence Forces Cemetery of Tallinn to remember those killed in conflict.

They then travelled to Tallinn English College where the royal couple sat in on a few lessons where they heard students debate the topic of gender equality.

Afterwards, Their Royal Highnesses visited Seaplane Harbour – one of the world’s most impressive maritime museums.

Here they opened a new exhibition entitled ‘Operation Red Trek. Ensuring Estonian Freedom’.

Later in the day, the Earl and Countess visited the Estonian Parliament – Riigikogu. This is the only legislative chamber in Estonia and is where all treaties and laws are made.
